Web3 Infrastructure Upgrade: @WalletConnect connects the ecosystem with $WCT

In the early days when @walletconnect first appeared, most people thought it was just a "wallet-DApp connection tool." Who would have thought that in just a few years, it would grow into the "core infrastructure" of Web3: over 65,000 DApps, over 600 wallet integrations, and 47.5 million users completing over 300 million interactions through it. #WalletConnect has long surpassed the "tool" designation and become a key hub for ecosystem operations.

The core driving force behind this leap is the launch of WCT. It upgraded the previous "one-way service" to "community co-construction": users staking WCT can earn up to 23% APY, and can also participate in protocol governance through Snapshot—key decisions such as new chain support and security rule adjustments are all led by the community. The 185 million WCT airdrop in 2024 allows old users to genuinely feel the value of being "ecosystem owners"; currently, out of 186 million circulating WCT, 123 million are staked, confirming the high recognition from the community.

@walletconnect is also continually expanding the boundaries of its ecosystem: the Certified program provides security certification for wallets, solving users' "choice anxiety"; the Reown WalletKit SDK lowers the threshold for developers, attracting more projects to join. #WalletConnect now sees a daily transaction volume of 187 million USD, and is breaking into the realms of SocialFi and cross-chain, aiming for a "universal interface" for Web3. It accurately perceives industry needs: what Web3 lacks is not technology, but "usability" and "trust." $WCT unites the community, optimizes technical experience, and naturally sustains ecosystem prosperity.
